I thought I would take the time to tell everyone about one of my favorite words in Spanish. I have many favorites, just as I do in English, but I think this even tops any English word.
The word is: aprovechar
Aprovechar means to take advantage of something. It just has such a better ring to it, rather than having to say "I'm taking advantage of that," I only have to say, "Yo aprovecho."
So next time you're missing me, just aprovechar something, whether it be the fact that you have electricity 24/7, taking a hot shower, or flushing your toilet paper down a toilet.
There are an endless amount of things that you can aprovechar!

hahaha! I love it! I will be using that from now on. And you have inspired me to write my own post about my favorite spanish expressions.
ReplyDeleteBy the way, my favorite English word is inevitable and my least favorite is moist...yuck! It gives me the creeps just thinking about it.
I know what your favorite word in English is..."flaaaatter". Apparently you're also a fan of bad grammar - "So next time YOUR missing me" :)
ReplyDeleteI don't hate words per se, but rather spellings. I cannot stand gray. It's GREY god damn it. I'm stealing it from across the pond. Also creme instead of cream. It looks nicer...although the verb cream, as in "cream butter" I suppose has to stay icky.
Kevin, I heard someone use this word today. I was very excited to hear it and actually know what she was talking about. What would I do without you?!?!
